Rehoboth Beach, Delaware CNN —
In the end, President Joe Biden exited the political stage in isolation.
After weeks of fighting for his political life – insisting he wasn’t going anywhere following a disastrous debate performance – the president’s about-face did not come in an Oval Office address or a speech on the campaign trail. Instead, it came in letter posted to social media as he recovered from Covid-19 at his beach house in Delaware.
It was a low-key way to reveal one of the most historic decisions in modern American politics, but time was not on Biden’s side to reach a decision or make an announcement. Never before has a president left a reelection race this close to Election Day – and for 24 days it seemed as if he were stubbornly planning to ride out the storm that followed the June 27 CNN debate in Atlanta.
He spent the three weeks after the debate repeating that he was staying in the race against former President Donald Trump. The president dug in. He insisted he could beat Trump. His inner circle shrank to his closest aides and family. He was forced to retreat to Delaware, where he reached a decision in the last day-and-a-half, finally conceding that a man loyal to the Democratic Party for more than a half-century was seen as a drag on the ticket.

Well Nixon had more courage than Biden, he addressed the nation when he resigned. Yeah covid right. Oh as another poster said on another thread, expect the executive orders to come fast and furious.
SIX so-called ADULTS to WRITE this DRIVEL!!
Hey Joey.......remember what you say...."NOBODY F^CKS WITH A BIDEN"! TELL THE WORLD HOW THIS HAPPENED!!
Six authors?!?!
What, is everyone stuck in the high school “team project” loop?
All the news reports treat him like he died earlier this afternoon. Fawning eulogies and everything. Everything about him is said in the past tense.
Will Joe remember this was done? Maybe on Monday he will go on camera and condemn this hoax at his expense!
Where IS the Proof of Life??? HOLD UP TODAY’S NEWSPAPER AT THE WINDOW JOEY!
As “Senator” Porky Pig said at his retirement party: “ The, the, thee , thea,,,That’s All, Folks!”
“Everything about him is said in the past tense.”
It reminds me of the classic quote from the old movie “Capricorn One”.
“Right now they are telling the media what wonderful heroes we were”.
Lol.
I think the present day term is a "collective"
Did they kill him?
Saw this coming. The debate was step one to remove Biden.
He’ll be praised for his decision. None of this seemed accidental...planned.
I believe there will be a replacement and it will not be Kamala. We may wish Biden was still running.

RFK Jr. slams Harris at press conference after Biden drops out
“Kamala Harris is a war hawk”
“She’s a product of the corporate control of our democracy”
“She has one of the worst civil rights records of any public official”
“She’s not gonna do anything about the national deficit”
“I’ve never heard her speak about the chronic disease epidemic”
“She’s one of the primary authors of the school to prison pipeline.
Despite a Supreme Court order that she release 5,000 prisoners of non-violent drug crimes … she kept them in there, saying that we needed them for firefighting and for other public works services.
That’s just a modern version of indentured servitude, a modern version of slavery.
In terms of the traditional Democratic principles, I don’t think she has a credible record.”
LBJ did exactly this.
Anecdote: in a journalism class, my prof recounted how LBJ’s press conferences consisted of his reading a prepared statement (distributed to media in advance) and that one day, a nice day, one reporter got his copy and decided to file his story based on the usual ho-hum release, and went off to have some fun.
Alas, when LBJ finished reading the release to the assembled reporters, he ad-libbed — “I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your president.”
The absent reporter was fired and blackballed. And yet, he’s still a better reporter than the DNC shills working today.
Wait until the TV specials. Gag.....
This is long...tells who the real bidet is.
biden’s history
I’d like to see them pick Big Mike. It would be hilarious to see him exposed as the trans he is. BTW , the kenyan barak could run for VP. The constitution does not forbid that.
God Almighty apparently weighed in on the conversation....
To hell with those who voted in the Democrat primaries. The Democrat Party is an existential threat to democracy.
> Six reporters? <
Call me a dreamer. But I await the day when a CNN article has more reporters than readers.
